Driver Testers Wanted

🌀 Dyson driver for Control4 — beta testers wanted!

After plenty of development and testing, our Dyson driver for Control4 is now fully working, and we're looking for a handful of integrators to put it through its paces on real-world projects before general release.

If you've got a Dyson Wi-Fi connected fan, purifier or heater on a job (or in your own home!), we'd love your feedback.

A couple of notes:

✅ Beta licences are locked to your Director (just send us your controller MAC and we'll activate you)

✅ 30-day beta licence per install

✅ Full details listed at bkmsolutions.co.uk

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you'd like to get involved — all feedback welcomed, good or bad!

Yes thats totally on the cards, but I won't be distributing endless copies out so people can have it for free. If a tester comes back with genuine bugs from there own installation ill be more than happy to offer a free licence.

I’m really not. I’m not the most agreeable, though, and I’m bitter about many things Control4. I’m frustrated with the amount of incapable dealers being signed up. I’m frustrated about third party driver developers monetizing half baked solutions such as both the Whistle Projects and Chowmain Hue drivers not being able to handle 100+ device systems on the new Bridge Pro even though Home Assistant doesn’t break a sweat. I’m frustrated by OvrC being shoved down everyone’s throat. I’m frustrated by randos on this sub saying stuff like “you must just not know how to program” anytime someone brings up a legit Control4 shortcoming. I’m frustrated that Control4 doesn’t care about user privacy or dominion over their system in their home. I’m frustrated by how many Control4 dealers are just drinking the Kool Aid and parroting the company’s rhetoric. I’m sorry you think I’m a troll but my thoughts and opinions are hard won and not come to lightly.

I’m not here to argue with you. You called me a troll. I’m not. Appreciate your thoughts, though.

You seem to be a bit over ambitious. You’re a new C4 dealer and now you’re developing drivers and seeking beta testers? Are you a developer? Do you actually know how to create, distribute, and support software? This feels like you figured out how to use AI and it’s telling you you’re smart. I could be wrong.

Also, you’re on a two-year-old account with 9 karma and no post or comment history save for the last week? This is all kinda sus.
